Personal Narrative: My Environment Was So Good When I Was A Kid
My environment was so good when I was a kid. I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska; it was so beautiful my sisters and I always went outside. My stepdad was in the military so we lived on post , a private community, he was never home much because of deployments. I was a very outgoing kid, like everybody loved me and my sisters. I attended the same elementary from pre school to 4th grade , I didn’t have the same friends in each grade because it was a school by military so everybody moved by the summer. I began to become my own person I was so quiet I still am now but not as bad as I used to be .I used to be scared to get a tissue for my nose. Then there was a new girl I don’t remember how I met her but I just remembered we clicked and I was just happy

    Many people would say that growing up with parents who could not speak english would be to my disadvantage, but I disagree. Growing up I always believed it to be exhausting having to translate and never really feeling normal. I believed it to be dragging and many times protested against it, but besides it being tiring, I also felt embarrassed. Yeah embarrassed of having to deal with my parents and not being able to communicate with them like other kids did with their parents. As I grew older the issue only grew because at that point I began to resent them for putting me through what I believed to be embarrassing moments of confusion, but all of this changed when I finally realized that my parents did the best they could with what they had.…

Just being outdoors, helps me forget what is bothering me. Saying "Hello" to other walkers make me smile. When I arrive home from my walk, I feel refreshed and I have a feeling I can tackle…

    As most children grow up, they are aware of their surroundings and take in everything they can understand which adds to their personality and their structure of life. As a child I developed at a level more advanced than the children around me. I learned to use a computer at the age of 3 years old. I read at an 8th-9th grade level while in the 5th grade. In addition, I could handle complex situations better than a average elementary student. The mindset I had as a child unlocked new doors for me. For example, I was not afraid to try new things and accept the lessons that came along with new opportunities. Also, I learned from my parents that going down the path of success isn’t always easy. Lastly, I experienced that life is filled with…

    Growing up as the oldest child of two first generation immigrants from differing backgrounds, I was met with many challenges that come with living in a substandard socioeconomic environment. For majority of my life my parents were both completing their education and working full time jobs, while raising five kids.

This became more so when my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and the medical expenses pushed us further into poverty. Thankfully government assistance was afforded to us.

    Growing up, most of the children I knew would go to church on Sunday’s, visit their grandparents’ house to bake cookies after school, and have milk and cereal for breakfast every morning. But I had never set foot inside of a religious building, couldn’t even speak the same language as my grandmothers, and ate congee with fermented soy beans like it was the most natural thing in the world. My little town where I’d grown up, made friends, and built memories was, to say the least, completely un-diverse.…

    It was a ferociously gloomy day in the heart of Center City. The time of the observation was from 11:43 am to 12:43pm. Sandwiched between 15th street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard is the Philadelphia's Municipal Services Building and within the plaza of the building lies Board Game Park. Even in the rain, the park was festive. Upon arriving, it began to drizzle. The drizzle was light enough for me to sit by a statue that was composed of multiple bodies piled on top of one another. The noises heard ranged from rain dropping, to horns honking to people laughing or shouting. In the surrounding area of the Board Game Park is Love Park with its remarkable LOVE sculpture and fountain, which was spewing pink water in support of Breast Cancer Awareness…

    On the second day of school during my sophomore year, I realized how much Wahlert meant to me. It had become my home, the place where I felt like I belonged; school almost even seemed like a break from summer. Over the summer, I had become an empty shell and spent my time at the computer wasting the time away; the only interactions I had were with my family, and on rare occasion with my best friends, when we had sleepovers. To see the people I had missed over the summer was great. All of these things felt so true in that moment.…

    Daycare, school, daycare, work. Daycare, school, daycare, work. Two heedful eyes observing you. Admiration gleaming from the young face of a 7 year old girl. You may not see them all the time, but they are there. Every action is sagacious, following the question “Would this be a good example to set?” Dark, bagged eyes late nights at work, and coffee riddled breathe early at school.…
